For its passenger cars, Nissan is offering $500 for the Versa subcompact sedan; $500 for the Versa Note hatchback; $500 for the Sentra compact car; and $1,000 for the Altima mid-size sedan. Nissan is not offering an incentive for the redesigned Maxima full-size sedan, LEAF battery-electric vehicle or Z sports car.

For its vans, Nissan is offering $1,000 for the Quest minivan; $1,500 for the NV cargo and passenger vans; and $1,250 for the NV200 compact cargo van. Nissan is not offering an incentive for the NV200 Taxi.

For its SUVs, Nissan is offering $500 for the Rogue compact SUV; $500 for the Juke compact SUV; $1,000 for the Pathfinder mid-size SUV; and $500 for the Murano mid-size SUV. Nissan has not announced an incentive for the Armada large SUV, which will enter its second generation in 2016.

A move by the White House to roll back automobile fuel-efficiency targets set by the Obama administration and to challenge the right of California and other states to set stricter tailpipe emission rules faces an uphill climb.

After a court challenge stymied its efforts to give makers of glider kits a reprieve from challenged provisions of its greenhouse gas regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency has withdrawn an order to not enforce those regulations against small manufacturers of glider kits.

A federal court has granted a temporary stay that suspends the decision by the Environmental Protection Agency to not enforce for 2018 and 2019 a 300-unit production cap put in place on the manufacture of glider kits/vehicles that do not comply with Phase 2 GHG emission rules.
